The Steve McQueens refuse to be pedestrian; they don’t live in the transient or the touch-and-go. Swerving between cool seductions and gripping magnetism, they aim to light the world up with their band of self-styled neo-vintage soul-funk. The quintet formed in 2013 as a forging of five mercurial talents – Ginny Bloop(vocals), Joshua Wan(keyboards), Jase Ng(bass), Aaron Lee(drums) and Fabian Lim(saxophones) in Singapore. Since their debut, they have been defining their own style of jazz infused neo-soul, a groove-based hybrid of tightly arranged and freely improvised sounds. The band’s music continues to evolve with the recent addition of a sixth member – jazz guitarist Andrew Lim.

The band have played at the major venues and festivals in Singapore and the region, including Japan’s iconic Summersonic, the Singjazz Festival. Their concerts are at once soulful and sultry, eclectic and eccentric. It was this riveting mix and originality that caught the attention of veteran producer Bluey, leader of seminal acid jazz band Incognito, who invited them to London to record their second album <Seamonster>(2015) with him and to open for Incognito at The O2 in London. Now more international dates are being lined up as they continue to build their reputation and rapport with audiences.
